Currently pfifo_fast has both TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS and TCQ_F_NOLOCK flag set, but queue discipline by-pass does not work for lockless qdisc because skb is always enqueued to qdisc even when the qdisc is empty, see __dev_xmit_skb().
This patch calles sch_direct_xmit() to transmit the skb directly to the driver for empty lockless qdisc too, which aviod enqueuing and dequeuing operation. qdisc->empty is set to false whenever a skb is enqueued, and is set to true when skb dequeuing return NULL, see pfifo_fast_dequeue().
Also, qdisc is scheduled at the end of qdisc_run_end() when q->empty is false to avoid packet stuck problem.
The performance for ip_forward test increases about 10% with this patch.

I can confirm the ~10% IP forwarding throughput improvement brought by this patch, but as you might be aware, there was a previous attempt to add qdisc bypass to pfifo_fast by Paolo Abeni: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/661cc33a-5f65-2769-cc1a-65791cb4b131@pengutro... It was reverted because TX reordering was observed with SocketCAN (although, presumably it should also be seen with Ethernet and such).
Thanks for testing that, I just stumbled over this patch by accident. Marc -- Pengutronix e.K. | Marc Kleine-Budde | Embedded Linux | https://www.pengutronix.de | Vertretung West/Dortmund | Phone: +49-231-2826-924 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 |
